"- Play safe and farm whatever CS you can. You should look to maintain high HP, so he can't dive you.
- Stand behind minions. He will try to throw his Q through the minions to reach you, but you can sidestep and dodge it. This forces the wave to push into you

"- Stack your Q on the wave.

- Don't get hit by Q's for no reason

Naafiri
Nasus
"- Don't leash. You need to get prio on the wave instantly. Your main goal should be to get a clean 3 wave crash off.
- Check if he has bone plating
- After you pop it. Take a trade if he walks up ( Q4 > AA > AA ). Just make sure not to over push the wave.
- If he's sitting back. You can get Q stacks and then walk past wave (don't aggro the casters) to zone him from the first 3 melees.
- You can use this as an opportunity for a short trade if he wants to fight you.
- After you crash the third wave. Reset if the enemy JG is pathing top. Otherwise, you can continue to deny CS and maintain prio for Rift Grubs.
- It's crucial to get rift grubs because you can easily hit the turret
- When he begins to slow push into you, make sure to deny his crash.
- You can easily do this by walking up and Qing the wave.
- If he tries to stop this, use Q4 > AA > E away.
- Avoid using W when you do this because it's better used for dodging his E damage.
- You should try to get a lead through CS rather than looking for kills. If you can freeze, he will be down 30-50 CS without any counterplay
- Because of that, you should value your wave state over anything else. Most people lose this lane by trying to punish him on poor timers.
- At level 6, you have kill pressure if the wave is on your side of the lane.
- With that said, the nature of this lane means that you'll be pushing into him when you hit level 6.
- This means that you will hit 6 while he's still 5, which means you will have an easy opportunity to dive him with JG
- When you fight him when he has some points in W (the AA slow), you need to use R to kite out the duration and then reengage when the debuff wears off
- Late-game, you won't be able to fight him unless you're up 2-3k gold.
- So catch sidelane waves and try to play for team fights
- Don't try to auto when he withers you. E away unless you think you can instantly kill him
- Avoid his E explode dmg
- Don't E into him because you need the dash to kite his wither"
Olaf
"- Chill and try to farm whatever minions you can. If you get hit by his Q, he can easily chunk you, so avoid being too aggressive
- Try to take short trades with him whenever you have Q4
- You will lose the trade if he hits 2 Q's
- Look for E > Q4 when you have a level advantage. Olaf has good damage, so only take trades when you have an item/level advantage.
- When you are pushing into him, if he long range Q's you, you can W to block the damage and then E > Q4 since he won't be able to pick up the axe
- One of the most essential things in this matchup is movement. If you could make him waste his Q, you'll have a good opportunity for a trade/all-in
- Practice inconsistent movement and try to read his gameplay patterns.
- When you fight him, kite away from his axes. A lot of his early-game damage comes from his Q.
- If he doesn't pick up his Axe, you can go for a kill.
- If he picks it up, just run away since you can create enough distance to run
- You should be able to look for an all-in after you have a blasting wand. After this point, you will have enough damage to eat through his base healing/Doran's shield.
- You have to set up all-ins by slowly poking him down because he has a much better all-in compared to Gwen
- Play for sidelane after 2-3 items. He can't contest you after this point.
- You can also just play for sidelane prio and then rotate for easy 5v4 team fights (this works especially well if he doesn't have TP)
- Don't let him snowball the lane
- Don't fight him if he has ignite
- Avoid walking up if you don't have E
- Don't Let him E you without trading any damage back"
Ornn
"- Take control of the first wave to stack Q
- If he takes W first, you can do a short Q4 trade; just don't let him use his Brittle auto
- If he takes Q, control the bush and use a quick auto > Q4 trade.
- Your only goal for the first 3 waves is to maintain high HP and look for a solid 3 wave crash.
- Ornn has a good gank setup, so focus on wave state rather than damage. You won't ever solo kill him unless he blunders
- Avoid his Q poke if you take too much damage for free.
- You can W his Q/W poke and then E>Q4; this is a solid trade pattern, but it's situational. If you do this, be sure the jungle isn't topside.
- Use E to dodge his W damage, or you can save it for his E knock up, but you should be able to walk away from his pillar/wall 99% of the time
- Most of the time, I'll use my E to dodge his W damage so that it doesn't apply the brittle proc
- Don't dash into a wall or pillar
- You will have a big window to punish him if he E's away; it has a 16-second cooldown early in the game.
- After 2 items, the Ornn can't hold you in the sidelane. Because of that, The Ornn's win-con will be playing team fights.
- Leverage this advantage to take easy T1-3s
- Play for team fight if an objective is coming up (Soul/third drake) or if you take all the sidelane turrets
- Don't walk near him without E, especially once he gets 6, as his full combo can often kill you from 70%HP
- Don't ever stand next to a wall or pillar unless you are 100% sure you can kill him

- If he doesn't respect you, go for an E > Q4 trade. If he trades back, exhaust him and continue to fight.
- Fast crash the third wave and reset
- He does have kill pressure on this wave, but you will have TP advantage, so it isn't the worst if you decide to die for tempo
- Do not fight on when she's slow pushing into you.
- Farm whatever CS you can with Q, but avoid getting chunked.
- Look to freeze when near your tower
- When she's looking to trade with you, hover outside her Q range. If she Q's towards you, look to buffer Q4 into her W stun.
- Be careful of her E dash since it can easily dodge your damage.
- When you hit level 6, you both have kill pressure. It just depends on who has an HP advantage.
- If she's around 70-80% HP, you can look to all-in her. Just be patient with your R rotation since she has a lot of dashes.
- She has good dive setup, so don't be afraid to reset if you take a few poor trades.
- Mid-game (2-3 items): You have to hit everything to kill her. I would suggest continuing to play passive and scale into the late-game
- You can look to fight her if you're ahead or push waves and rotate to your team
- When you're behind, catch waves and TP if the riven rotates to your team
- If you don't have TP, just match riven
- You destroy her late game (4-6 items)
- Don't be scared level 1
- Watch out for her flash W
- Her E dash can easily dodge your Q4

Rumble
Sett
Shen
"- Get Q stacks
- You are looking to crash 3-4 waves
- When you trade with him, hit the wave with Q. It's important you hit level 2 first
- Watch out for his level 2 power spike. He can easily chunk you for 50% HP if you get hit by his E
- Be ready to Dash back to dodge his E
- Position away from his Q drag through
- Kite out his early passive shield, then trade after it falls off
- When he uses his W, you can still get Q stacks, but you won't deal damage
- Keep him under tower after level 6 so he can't use R to help his team.
- Late-game, you won't have an issue fighting him, even if you're down 2-3k gold.
- Try to bait him to taunt you outside of tower range.
- After he uses E, he won't be able to stop you from taking towers.
- Don't let Shen kite you with his E
- Don't trade close to his turret. He will taunt you
- Never let him hit level 2 first"
Singed
"- Protect the proxy
- Start E if he tries to proxy
- If he doesn't proxy. Start Q and instantly start hitting the wave.
- Take a short trade if he walks up for minions.
- If he walks up to the ranged minions with poison, you can ghost to chunk his HP
- Always get Q stacks. If he ever walks up for CS, hit him and the wave.
- You should always push into him. Avoid letting him proxy at all costs!
- After you crash 2-3 waves, look to proxy. This helps keep good tempo so that he never has the chance to scale for free.
- You can look to kill him when you hit level 6.
- Just be patient with your R. You must hit all 3 parts to kill.
- Mid-game (2-3 items), you beat Singed, but you can't really hit towers because of his flip
- Play with your prio. Push 2-3 waves and then rotate to your team.
- Most Singed players won't run TP, so you must abuse that.
- Late-game (4-5 items), you won't be able to kill him. Singed is one of the only champs that ""outscale"" Gwen

Sion
"- Stack Q on the wave.
- Take a short trade if he walks up for CS
- Hover on the outside of his spell range
- Don't take unnecessary early damage
- Save your E to dodge his Q knock-up
- If he starts Q while in melee range, just dash behind him for an easy trade.
- You can W to dodge his Q and then E>Q4 forward for a great trade
- Just be careful after since you won't have W to avoid a gank.
- This is especially important after level 6 because of well sion can set up the gank
- After getting hit by his E, you can dash away or use W to dodge his fully charged Q
- You could also use this as an opportunity to E>Q4 into him
- Look for an all-in after level 6 when you have a long lane.
- Most of the time, he'll just R away, but this is quite a good outcome for you if you don't let him R into a proxy
- You won't ever lose to him in the sidelane after 2-3 items, but you might struggle with hitting turret against him.
- Use your ability to get prio to crash a few waves and then rotate. Your main goal should be to force out his TP
- If you can get his TP, take both side T2's or force him to catch waves while you fight 5v4 with your team
- Don't walk up to bushes without knowing where he is
- Avoid getting close to him without spells to escape/dodge his Q"
Teemo
"- Play safe and avoid early poke
- Sit in the bushes and farm whatever CS you can
- Walk up when you have the Doran's shield passive
- Use Q to farm cannons/minions when he blinds you
- Once you have a few levels, you can start to take short trades ( W > E > Q4 > walk away )
- If you position the W properly, he won't be able to damage you.
- Play safe until you have cooldowns again.
- You can dodge his Q blind with W, but you have to wait until the projectile begins moving towards you
- This will be your biggest all-in window.
- When you trade/fight with him, stay within your W1. This will force him to move into you.
- Try to use W to stop his wave crash. If you freeze the wave, your jungler might be able to gank him.
- Look to kill him when you have a long lane
- After level 6, you have kill pressure, but be careful of his ignite.
- Be patient with your R. Teemo will dodge around, trying to make you miss your needles (R)
- Mid-game (2-3 items, you don't win the 1v1 if he has ignite. Teemo is one of the only matchups you need 4-5 items to win against.
- Avoid walking in the obvious shroom spots
- Don't get chunked early for no reason
- Never trade without E/W"
Tryndamere
Vayne
Warwick
"- Sit in the bush and wait for the CS.
- Q the first 3 minions if possible, but you are not looking for a fight.
- You don't want to trade with him at all. Get as much CS as you can, but don't stress too much about it
- Try spacing his Q chomp by using the outside of your Q range and then dash backward before he can bite on you
- Always get Q stacks when possible
- You can take short trades when you have Q4
- At level 6, you can kill him when he's 40% HP (be sure to ignite early to reduce all of his healing)
- You lose at (1-2) items, but once you have death cap (third item), you can abuse him in the sidelane.
- Late-game (4-5 items), punish since he can't ever win 1v1.
- If he doesn't have TP, you can pull him into the side lane and then TP to your team for an easy fight
- You can take side lane turrets if he decides to group with his team
- Don't trade without Q stacks
- Never let him Q you for nothing
- Don't let him dodge your Q4 with his Q dash

Zac
"- Get Q stacks on the first wave. Farm the first 3 melees with (Q)
- You are stronger than him at level 1, so you should be able to hit level 2 first.
- Cheater recall on the third wave.
- After you get a blasting wand, you shouldn't ever lose a fight against him
- If he tries to (Q) you, space outside his range. If he is able to attach the (Q2), just buffer Q, and the trade will be even
- Stand behind minions to block his Q1
- Always hold your E for his (E) knock up
- If you can dodge his E/Q, you will win any fight
- Try to wiggle/space just outside his (W) range. If you do this well, the matchup becomes incredibly easy
- You can chunk him at level 6, but it's hard to kill unless he wastes his (E).
- Mid-game (2-3 items), depends on gold lead
- You destroy him late-game!
- Be careful not to get combo'd under his tower. That's basically the only way you can die to him
- His Q2 can cancel your E dash"
Yorick
"- You're stronger at level 1, so you can easily stack Q on the wave; if he walks up, take a short 1-2 auto trade + Q, and then drop minion aggro with bush
- Make sure not to hit the wave too much because you are trying to crash the third wave. If you can get a clean reset off and stop his crash, you will have an opportunity to look for a solo kill
- Be mindful of his E range, especially if he has max ghoul stacks.
- You can (W) his E and then dash forward for a small trade. He can never win a fight against you if you can dodge that ability
- If he does hit you with E, you dash away from the ghouls and kill them while kiting. If you do this properly, you won't take any damage.
- When trading with him, you should try to initiate in melee range. This will allow you to dash out of his cage once it places it.
- Try to wiggle to bait out/dodge his E. If you practice this, the lane becomes a lot easier as you can start to win trades and look to snowball
- Post-6, you can easily beat him if you don't get trapped in his cage
- You lose mid-game (2-3 items)
- Late-game (4-5 items), you destroy him
- Don't get chunked while he pushes wave with Ultimate
- Avoid getting chunked by his E for free
- You can't beat him if he has maiden and you don't have ult"
Yone
"- Control the first wave. You beat him level 1 if you play inside your wave. Don't just tank all of his autos.
- You have to space just outside his Q range. If he misses Q, use that as an opportunity to stack Q/Trade
- The early levels hinge on your ability to bait/dodge his Q's. At the very least, if you dodge his Q2 knock-up, you can ghost onto him and play for a chunk
- You should be able to leverage the early advantage into an easy 3-4 wave crash.
- Avoid getting chunk while he has a long lane since Yone can easily chase you down with his E
- He has insane ramping damage with his lethal tempo + E, so you'll need to play the match-up mostly through short trades.
- You should always play for prio. If you have Q stacks, you'll have an easier time fighting him.
- Bait out his W by hovering just outside his range. If you can dodge this consistently, the short trades will be much easier to win.
- Look out for his E - Q3 (NADO) combo. It has a lot of range and easily set up a gank for his jungler
- If he has Q3 while running away, kite back for a second, so you don't get hit by the hitbox behind the nado
- Once you have R, you can kill him if he ever wastes E
- If he R's outside your W mist, you'll dodge the damage and knockup
- Mid-game (2-3 items), you lose quite hard even when ahead in gold
- Late-game (4-5 items), You've scaled, and now you can look for turrets/pressure
- Don't stand by dying minions because he will CS them with his W
- Having your E interrupted by his knockup"
Yasuo
Wukong
"- Stack Q on the wave. If he tries to CS/Trade, you can fight inside your wave and win easily.
- You have much better AOE damage, so you shouldn't ever lose wave control
- When you hit level 2 first, E forward for a trade/kill
- Continue getting Q stacks on the wave and pressure him whenever he tries to last hit
- Look for a 3-wave crash into cheater recall. You are going to be rushing steel caps, but getting early AP is really useful
- You can Q when he E's to guarantee you hit the sweet spot
- Once you have level 6, you can all-in him whenever you have 4 Q stacks. Be sure to kite away from his clone because his R damage will stack if both clones hit you.
- In the mid-game > late-game, you should be looking to split push (especially if he has ignite)
- Don't get baited by his W clone
- Don't let him Q you without trading back
- Be careful whenever he has R+ignite"
Volibear
"- Take short Q trades ( if he hits E, you will lose )
- This is one of the rare matchups where you won't have wave prio.
- Stack Q on the wave; avoid trading if you don't have 4 stacks.
- Always save your Dash so you can dodge his E damage. This means you almost never E forward in this matchup
- Only take short trades. If he hits two W's, you will always lose
- Trade more aggressively when you purchase blasting wand
- Post 6 - look to all in with ignite when he is around 55% HP
- Mid-game (2-3 items) depends on gold lead entirely.
- If you're ahead, get prio and play for towers or rotate to your team.
- If you're behind, play safe and TP to any plays Volibear tries to make.
- Late-game (2-3 items) you will easily be able to fight him
- Avoid getting hit by E at all costs
- Don't take extended trades
- Don't get baited by him being low, his R/W makes him pretty tanky if you don't kill him fast enough
- Don't trade if the wave is crashing since he the best dive in the game."""
Vladimir
"- Walk up and hard push the first 3 melees. He can't contest you due to his lack of wave clear early game wave.
- Once you hit level 2, look for short ( E > Q4 > AA > ) trades. Your main goal will be having a clean third wave crash, so avoid pushing the wave too quickly.
- When you recall, get boots and refill. You'll need the movement speed for trades, and the sustain helps a lot
- Your best trade pattern will be (W> Q4> E> AA>) he doesn't have any counterplay. afterward, play safe since you don't have any cooldowns
- Post-6, whenever you have a good trade, you can decide to R purely to chunk him or force out his flash/ghost. He relies heavily on sums, so if an opportunity presents itself always take it
- Late game, you outscale him in the 1v1, so try to exert pressure in the sidelane; you will also have the TP advantage most of the time, so if he matches you, you can just TP to your team and take a 4v5
- Don't play passive in the early levels, or he will completely control the lane
- Don't let him get empowered Q's ( keep in mind his Q burst MS and his E extends his red bar )
- Look to all in him when his W is on cooldown
- Stand behind minions to block his E-blob "
Kennen
"- Play around bushes
- Farm whatever minions you can without taking too much poke
- Just chill and farm until level 3. Then, you can look to take a short ( W > E > Q4 ) trade
- Play safe until you have W again
- Fake walk forward to bait his Q out. Otherwise, stand behind the minions
- Freeze the wave when possible. You can look to chase him down with ghost when you have a long lane.
- At level 6, you can look for kills when you have ghost.
- You can kill him if you W his Q or W empowered auto.
- When you E forward, slightly step back to avoid his E lightning stack.
- If he R's onto you, buffer your W before you get stunned
- You beat him mid-game (2-4 items)
- Make sure to ping if he goes out of vision
- Look for side lane turrets if he wants to group with his team
- Late game (5-6 items), he out scales you through team fighting
- try to pull him into the side lane
- Don't get poked for free
- Never jump on him when he has full CDs
- His passive W auto + E will chunk you pretty hard"
Tahm Kench
"- Play for a 3-wave crash
- Stack Q on the wave. If he walks up, take a short trade.
- Have unpredictable movement to dodge his Q's
- If you walk in and out of the minion wave, you can bait out his Q
- When you trade/fight him, stand inside the wave so that he can't hit Q
- Post 6, you can look for an all-in when you have a long lane.
- You should look to chunk/kill him with R when he's 60-70% HP
- Be careful of his R when you're near his tower. He can easily 100 to 0 you by kidnapping you under tower
- If he gets 2+ stacks on his passive, then use E to get away from him
- Late-game (2-3 items): You can play side lane or team fight.
- You won't struggle to fight him, but you will just need to watch out for the enemy JG since Tahm's gank setup is quite good.
- Still watch out for his eat under the tower. He can solo kill you if he stuns you under the tower
- Push 2 waves and then rotate to your team. If you can force out his TP, you can easily get a T2.
- Let him land Q/W when your E is down
- Don't get hit by his Q when you're full HP since it does %HP damage
- If you have to use W then do so
- Watch out for out of vision W's"
Urgot
"- Urgot can walk behind your wave to zone you from the first 3 minions.
- If he flips you with (E), you will either die or get chunked.
- If you can dodge the flip, you can take a short trade with Q stacks. Just don't over-commit
- Ideally, you stay in your wave so that he pushes fast. If you can deny him his 3 wave crash, you will be in a great position
- When you slow push into him, you can take short E>Q4 trades, but you need an HP advantage.
- If you can dodge/W his Q, you have a 10-8 second window to look for a trade
- The biggest risk when laning against Urgot is his E>Flash combo. This allows for an incredible gank setup and insane solo kill pressure.
- What you should look out for is wasting E. If he has dirk, you will literally die from 90% HP from his combo.
- Always respect this timer. If you don't have E/W, just play safe and wait for cooldowns.
- When fighting Urgot, you should kite away from his empowered leg autos. Just walk with one of his used legs. This drastically reduces his damage output
- Try to hold your E to dodge his flip. If you can consistently do this, the matchup becomes a lot easier.
- You lose mid-game (2-3 items) until Deathcap. And even then, if he flips you without your W, you just instantly die.
- For sidelaning, it depends on whether he took ignite or not.
- If he did, push waves and look for fights with your team
- It's best to play with your team. If someone CC's him, you can deal much more damage than him.
- Avoid his empowered passive autos
- Don't E>Q into him without some kind of advantage
- Just be patient and try to survive the laning phase
